Does 35mm distort?

In general, a 35mm lens on DX will behave like a 50mm lens on FX; you’ll get the same amount of perspective distortion when you frame things identically because you’ll be at the same distance. But the 35mm f/1.8G DX will throw you a curve because it has considerable barrel distortion.

Can you do professional photography with APS-C?

Is 35mm wide angle?

On a full-frame camera, any lens with a focal length of 35mm or wider is considered a wide angle lens, while 24mm and wider is considered an ultra-wide angle lens. For instance, a 35mm lens will give you a focal length of 21.8mm on a Canon DSLR, or 23.3mm on a Nikon DSLR.

Is 50mm on APS-C the same as 75mm on FX?

As you can see, when shooting at the same focal length on a full-frame vs. APS-C sensor, the frame area is significantly different. The viewing angle also changes on a crop sensor. Therefore it would be incorrect to say that the 50mm on APS-C is same as 75mm (50mm x 1.6 crop factor) on a FX camera.

Why do APS-C cameras take less pictures than full-frame cameras?

Have a quick look at the image below. Basically when shooting with a APS-C (crop) camera, it captures less than a full-frame sensor camera. And because of the narrower view of angle, you get an impression that a longer focal length had been used (as if it was zoomed in on purpose).

Does 50mm on a crop sensor camera = great portrait glass?

If a nifty-fifty is pretty universal on a full-frame, then it becomes too narrow on a crop (in terms of photography uses/genres), so it’s likely you won’t be satisfied with it as much. 50mm on a crop = great portrait glass?
